Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned chickpeas (low sodium)
- 3 ounces roasted red peppers
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 units garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas well under cold water to reduce sodium content.
In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, and ground cumin.
Process the mixture until smooth. If the hummus is too thick or chunky, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the hummus and adjust the flavor if necessary, adding more lemon juice for acidity or tahini for nuttiness.
Once smooth and creamy, transfer the hummus to a serving bowl.
Sprinkle paprika over the top for a bit of color and flavor.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve with fresh veggies, pita bread, or spread on sandwiches. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
